This is to inform that on 8th September 2010, the parliament passed a law allowing a dismissed industrial worker to directly approach the Labour Court for redressal of grievances, without any reference from the Government.
The Industrial Dispute (Amendment) Bill 2010, approved by the Lok Sabha (previously by the Rajya Sabha), provides workmen the opportunity to approach the Labour Court after 45 days of dismissal, without reference from the appropriate government, whether Central or State.
The Bill, which seeks to amend the Industrial Dispute Act 1947, also provides for establishing grievance redressal machinery in every industrial unit, employing 20 or more workmen. Additionally, from now onwards, a person receiving Rs.10,000/- per month will be treated as a workman under the new provision. Please note that the current limit is Rs.1600/- per month.
